* {{Cannibal}}: from Bull Market's specs: "Eats Kobe beef every night. That is f*cked up man."

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Entrant 12 in Zoofights 3 had the official name of [[spoiler: "A MOTHERFUCKING '''MARTIAN'''"]]. Which, really, is rather to the point.

* TheMessiah: In a way, [[spoiler: Croctopus]] in Zoofights V.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Zoofights 2 is generally ignored - it wasn't put onto the official site until long after the others, and even then, it's still not the complete version. Major Failure has previously called it "the ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' of Zoofights".

** One of the rules of Zoofights is basically "No humans." In Zoofights V, the British team attempt to circumvent this with Smash Gordon, who is a neanderthal and thus [[FantasticRacism doesn't quite count.]]

** Let's not forget '''A GORILLION DOLLARS'''!

** Zoofights 5's round two match between [[spoiler: Punchules the Magnificent and Banebarrimundi]] contained several {{Batman}} references, specifically [[spoiler: "I WILL BREAK YOU". Remarkably fails to take down Punchules, who has a spare spine that he uses ''to strangle Banebarrimundi''.]]

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Flying Tiger Sharks, Dakuvanga, and Bastard Shark

* AlwaysMale: Each and every fighter is referred to as "he" (or sometimes "it"). The trope persists even when Zoofights 4 introduced Tunguska, an alien queen, and in Zoofights 5, which brought in Blood 4 Oil, a giant mosquito. Only female mosquitoes suck blood. Blood 4 Oil sucks blood. [[CriticalResearchFailure Still called a "he"]]. Update: It took until Round 2, but Major Failure did realize, yes, Blood 4 Oil[=/=][[ThereWillBeBlood DRAAAAAAINAGE]][=/=][[PunnyName Brutish Petroleum]] ''is'' female.

* CliffHanger: In Zoofights 6, the fight between [[spoiler: Teddy Kruger and Delorelion ended with the latter's [[BackToTheFuture Flux Capacitor]] being set off, flinging them both off through time]].

Zoofights is an interactive story series hosted on the SomethingAwful forums, led primarily by the user Major Failure. Each "arc" of Zoofights (there have been six as of this writing) is about large and deadly animals facing one another in a blood sport that is both futuristic and old-timey (Zoofights 3, for example, took place in the late 1800s despite the extremely advanced technology present. They just wanted to have all the bystanders [[RuleofCool wearing monocles and top hats]]).

* AlternateUniverse: [[spoiler: Gamma Constrictor has made himself a part of the fabric of time (or something), which has caused many roleplay characters to either become snake-themed, the MirrorUniverse version of themselves (EG the evil [[Franchise/StarTrek Capt. Kirk]] and the kindly [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Entity]]), or as one put it "I've become every SpaceMarine ever!".]]

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: Elohim]]

* {{Badass}}: Oh The Huge Manatee, Steamcrab, Once Were Walrus, Ned Killy and Drillz [[RunningGag (he's the leader!)]] of the Mangolin' Pangolians.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Zoofights 2 is generally ignored - it wasn't put onto the official site until long after the others, and even then, it's still not the complete version. Major Failure has previously called it "the {{Star Wars Holiday Special}} of Zoofights".

* MessyPig: Porky Punisher

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Flying Tiger Sharks, Dakuvanga, and Bastard Shark

* FaceHeelTurn and {{Heel Face Turn}}: The majority of Zoofights entrants are pretty amoral, but there are examples of some characters deciding to switch teams for one reason or another, like the occasion when [[spoiler: Two Drunk Guys turned their back on their once-ally The Greatest Shark on Earth]] in Zoofights 3.

* HeWhoMustNotBeNamed: [[spoiler: Swanmass.]]

* HopeSpot: Major Failure loves this trope. Virtually every battle swings back and forth a few times. One of the most ridiculous Hope Spots in all of history was the Loser's League Royal Rumble in Zoofights 4. [[spoiler: All of the combatants realize that Elohim is the one to beat, so they all gang up on him, but he effortlessly sweeps them aside, killing two of the five in the process. Cue Wolfbike and his new companions Cheetahbike and Dogbike, followed by incredibly awesome pictures of the fighters jumping on the "Zoobikes", including a glorious {{Enemy Mine}} that shows Slammonite and Wolfbike putting aside their differences and teaming up and one of the downed warriors returning through a ''dimensional void from an alternate universe where he was stronger''... And in the next drawing Elohim effortlessly kills them all... all but ONE, Once Were Walrus, who gives us ANOTHER Hope Spot, which also ends in brutal annihilation by Elohim.]]

* PromotedFanboy: You like Zoofights? You can draw? Well then come aboard - Major Failure's always looking for a helping hand. One good example is the user Empty Sandwich. He works with clay, and made models of some of the fighters in Zoofights 3 and 4. Come Zoofights 5 he now contributes directly to the fights, with his modeling work appearing in Croctopus vs. Pride and Prejudice, Sting Kong vs. Barbarrimundi, Great Leap Forward vs. The Snapture, and [[spoiler: Captain Croctopus vs. Sturgeongrad]]

* ShoutOut: {{Star Wars}} and the Sega Genesis are favorites.

** Naturally led to {{Stiff Upper Lip}}.

* TheLastDance: [[spoiler: Hydrafficus]]
* TheMessiah: In a way, [[spoiler: Croctopus]] in Zoofights V.
* ThePowerOfRock: This is how [[spoiler: Rammoninite]] manages to defeat his opponent under seemingly impossible odds.
* TheUnfavorite: The Mess.
---> '''Major Failure''': I don't take sides because I love all of my monstrous children equally. Except The Mess. I hate drawing jaguars and I'm glad that asshole is dead.

* {{Worthy Opponent}}: Zoofights 3, semifinal 1. [[spoiler: After the gentlemanly Gravitee defeats the equally dapper Krustus, rather than blasting the crab to pieces Gravitee breaks a coolant pipe on the ship they're fighting on to preserve Krustus and keep him alive for later alterations. This turned out to be a very good decision on Gravitee's part.]]

The [[TheEighties Eighties-themed]] 6th series began on May 1st, 2011, [[ScheduleSlip and ended]] [[TroubledProduction six-and-a-half months later]]. In 2012, the [[http://zoofights.squarespace.com/ Zoofights blog]] changed its format from an annual tournament to a series of "WhatIf" fights.

* AlternateUniverse: [[spoiler: Gamma Constrictor has made himself a part of the fabric of time (or something), which has caused many roleplay characters to either become snake-themed, the MirrorUniverse version of themselves (EG the evil [[StarTrek Capt. Kirk]] and the kindly [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Entity]]), or as one put it "I've become every SpaceMarine ever!".]]

* RolePlayingGame: The voters have included several [[Series/DoctorWho Doctors]], [[FanNickname "Sad]] [[TheRoad Aragorn"]], SteamPunk TheodoreRoosevelt, Comicbook/{{Lucifer}}, [[EscapeFromNewYork Snake]] [[EscapeFromLA Plissken]], [[TheDarkCrystal Aughra]], (irradiated) Marie Curie, (mutated) [[NiccoloMachiavelli Machiavelli]], [[FreudWasRight Sigmund Freud]], the RobotMonster, the cockroach from ''WallE'', Alexander the Great, Kim Jong-Il (who was oddly silent during Great Leap Forward's round), [[StarTrek Capt. Kirk]], [[ThereWillBeBlood Daniel Plainview]], [[{{Deadwood}} Al Swearingen]] (co-bartended with Gezora in Zoofights 4), [[TheSopranos Paulie Walnuts]], [[{{Transmetropolitan}} Spider Jerusalem]], [[{{Preacher}} The Saint of Killers]] (who almost got into a fight with one of the more nihilistic Doctors), [[SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Robotnik]], [[EventHorizon Dr. Weir]], [[{{Futurama}} Scruffy the Janitor]], Elohim's [[ThePope Pope]] (Benedict XVI -- no 'shopping necessary!), [[TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossTheEighthDimension Buckaroo Banzai]], [[TimeTravel Time]] [[SantaClaus Santa]] and his pal [[BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]], an African warlord, an [[BladeRunner eye doctor]], countless videogame and comicbook characters, random (photos of) real people, quite a few original characters, and several [[http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/slaver.html Keith Thompson]] characters. Oh, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] Tim Buckley[[hottip:*: I'm surprised that with all the Keith Thompson characters no one used [[http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/necromancer.html this ingenious lady]] as Lilah/Brittany]]. However, there's a rule that the role-playing shouldn't get too out of hand least it get in the way of the actual fighting, which apparently happened in one of the earlier rounds [[OldShame to everyone's detriment]].
